Hambletonian Day Programme for you guys

Recommended Posts

The weather is better than expected and in spite of the Hambo being raced in heats. I expect Greeshoe (if on best behaviour) to go blow away the track record and possibly the World Record.

 

If he has an easy go of it in his heat, I would think Sears will let him loose.  Muscle Hill was a champion but this horse, when it comes to speed has an extra gear.  I am telling you right now that this horse can trot a quarter in 25 seconds on his ear.

 

Later on in the year in Kentucky where the track is a speedway, he will go better than 1:48 which is unheard of, of course but he is that good.

Dexter qualifies for Hambo with a flying finish for 3rd with Soul Strong. Was actually the best horse but flew too late The Swedes sure now how to train a trotter. None better IMO

 

Amazing that Green Manalishi went off at 9-1 as Melander said he has been getting much, much better of late.

 

Gimpanzee for an undefeated horse went very average. I can see why they kept this horse away from Greenshoe because he would beat him by 10 legnths.

Is it the tracks, evolving type of horse or training methods that are producing these times? Very soon 1,50 will become the benchmark but it's not only your grand circuit horses, babies are running incredible times too, both pacers and trotters. Exciting stuff.

And yet if a pacer runs sub 2minutes here they are Black Type.  How long before this is changed.  It’s just ridiculous.

Sure is. Might qualify in 2,50 but if they cant run 2,43 or better they might as well be trekking ponies.
